Valorant is Missing an Easy Win for Fans with Simple Change Inspired by One Other Hero

Valorant‘s agent roster is one of the most diverse and exciting of the lot. As of now, there are a total of 25 agents, spanned across four categories: Initiators, Duelists, Controllers, and Sentinels. And buffing and nerfing these agents is one of the biggest aspects of the game.

Riot always aims to maintain a balance among the agents so that a single agent doesn’t become an OP character overnight. However, sometimes these agents got some groundbreaking nerfs and buffs. That is why fans are wanting a change to balance things out.

Valorant Fans Want an Indicator for Enemy Iso’s Ultimate Ability

Recently, a dedicated Valorant fan, who used to play Chamber as his main agent, took to Reddit and voiced his opinion about a necessary change in the game. When an enemy Deadlock captures one of your teammates through her ultimate ability, the player icon on the scoreboard turns red. It helps other teammates to know exactly which player got captured.

In a similar way, that fan wants the same with an Iso ult as well. When an enemy Iso ults a player, that player’s icon remains normal until he gets killed. Now, having a red icon or some sort of indicator would really help players keep in mind which player got ulted by Iso. Not only will this feature help tactically, but it will also assist in keeping track of the ulted player.

This icon will be influential while retaking or executing a site. For example, if I am planning to commit a site with one of my teammates and he gets ulted by an enemy, then I won’t be pairing him with to take the site as the chances of his survival are less. It may seem like a minute and negligible feature, but it will be extremely helpful in heated situations.

Tough Time to Be an Iso Main in Valorant

It seems Iso mains are going through a rough patch right now. First, the fans want a red icon on his ulted players, which will make it easy to find Iso’s spawn point while in his ultimate form. Suppose, if you can find out quickly which player the enemy Iso ulted, it will be easier for you to find Iso’s location as well and catch him off guard.

After Iso’s arrival in the game, fans seemed to be a bit reluctant with this agent, as he was not on par with the other Duelists. Then came the iconic buff in the 8.11 buff when his Double Tap was made universal. That means he didn’t have to collect an orb after killing an enemy to activate his shield. After this update, the Chinese contract killer became a high ELO terror.

To balance things out, Riot came up with a swift nerf in patch 9.0, where the shield duration was reduced from 20 seconds to 12 seconds. Also, the developers removed the ability to recharge his Double Tap ability after a kill. However, you can still maintain your shield as long as you continue collecting orbs from the enemy corpses.
